my neighbor found a injured rabbit that a cat was trying to attack, the rabbit had a small chunk missing from its neck. we have called animal control and they wont be able to come out until 7 am to get the rabbit. what can we do in the meantime? the rabbit looks to be a couple weeks old.

Sorry, just saw this. If you haven't already, put the rabbit in a box in a quiet place. Obviously, be sure to put a few breathing holes in the box.

Thanks for rescuing this little fellow.

the rabbit made it thru the night, animal control was called again this morning, and the rabbit was taken to a local rehab place. and the rabbit was kept in a shoebox all night, tried getting up, but still couldnt
